Cut and Fill Calculator
Calculate cut and fill volumes for earthworks using the average end area method.
How to Use the Cut and Fill Calculator
- Enter the cut cross-sectional area at section 1 in m².
- Enter the fill cross-sectional area at section 2 in m².
- Enter the distance between the two sections in metres.
- Click Calculate to see cut, fill, net volumes, and truck count.
Casi d'Uso
- •Road and highway earthwork quantity estimation.
- •Site grading and levelling calculations.
- •Landscape construction planning.
- •Earthwork cost estimation and budgeting.
Formula
Volume = (A1 + A2) / 2 × L. Net volume = Cut volume − Fill volume.
Domande Frequenti
What is the average end area method?
This method estimates volume between two cross-sections by averaging their areas and multiplying by the distance between them.
What size trucks are assumed?
The calculator assumes 10 m³ trucks for estimating haulage, a common standard dump truck capacity.
